The Chicago Blackhawks headed for the East Coast, one win between them and the Stanley Cup title. The Boston Bruins, meanwhile, went home knowing they had to win the next game to avoid elimination, not to mention the bitter experience of watching someone else celebrate winning the Stanley Cup on their ice.

Sound familiar? It should.

Not only were those the scenarios for the Blackhawks and Bruins as they made their way to Boston for Game 6 on Monday night, they were the exact situations each team faced the last time they were in the Stanley Cup finals.

It's partly why the former Packers running back embraced the challenge of becoming Green Bay's receivers coach two years ago. It's also why, as Green Bay begins the process of rebuilding its receiving corps, there is no favored status for James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.

AUGUSTA — No matter what the leaderboard says, Guan Tianlang leaves the Masters a winner.

Making history from the moment he stepped on the first tee Thursday, the 14-year-old made quite an impression on Augusta National. He finished the week without a double bogey, and never had a three-putt. (Not one that counted, anyway, though Guan was quick to point out he had one from off the green.)

With a 75 on Sunday, he finished the tournament at 12-over 300 — maybe not a threat to the leaders, but not the worst score, either.

Luke Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points, walk-on Tim Henderson sparked a second-half rally with a pair of monster 3s and Louisville advanced to the NCAA title game Saturday night, escaping with a 72-68 victory over Wichita State.

“I just kept telling the guys ... ‘We’re going to make a run. It’s about defense,’” coach Rick Pitino said. “Give them their credit, but the bench won the game for us tonight.”

For the first time since their teams played perhaps the greatest game in the history of the NCAA tournament, Krzyzewski and Pitino will meet in the NCAA tournament today when top-seeded Louisville faces Duke. In the regional finals, no less.

Never mind that few of their current players were even born in 1992. Or that Pitino is no longer at Kentucky, having switched sides in the state’s civil war after his brief trip to Boston and the NBA ended badly.
